SWEEPSTAKES RULES
OFFICIAL RULES
IMPORTANT NOTICE: In all Sweepstakes hosted by S&J Hardware, the purchase of a designated sticker grants you one free entry into the Sweepstakes.
You are not required to accept delivery of the sticker to qualify for entry. The purchase itself is what qualifies you for participation.
No additional purchase, payment, or acceptance of goods is necessary beyond the sticker purchase to enter or win.
- Eligibility
The Sweepstakes (the “Sweepstakes”) is open only to individuals who either sign up through the official sweepstakes page or purchase stickers on this website. Participants must be 18 years of age or older as of the date of entry.
The Sweepstakes is open to legal residents of Canada only and is void where prohibited by law.
Employees of S&J Hardware (the “Sponsor”), as well as their affiliates, subsidiaries, advertising and promotion agencies, suppliers, and immediate family members (spouse, parents, siblings, and children) or those living in the same household, are not eligible to participate.
The Sweepstakes is subject to all applicable federal, provincial, and local laws and regulations.
- Agreement to Rules
By participating in the Sweepstakes, you agree to be fully and unconditionally bound by these Official Rules. You represent and warrant that you meet all eligibility requirements outlined herein.
You also agree to accept the decisions of S&J Hardware (the “Sponsor”) as final and binding in all matters related to the Sweepstakes.
The Sweepstakes is subject to all applicable federal, provincial, and local laws and regulations.

If a selected winner:

…the prize may be forfeited, and an alternate winner may be selected.
- Compliance and Disqualification
Receipt of a prize is contingent upon the winner’s full compliance with all applicable federal, provincial, and local laws and regulations.
Any violation of these Official Rules by a winner, as determined at the sole discretion of S&J Hardware, will result in the winner’s disqualification. In such cases, all rights to the prize will be immediately forfeited.
